Target

Pros: Clothes, entertainment, your pick of futons, and if they have an Icee machine you will never have a reason to move.

Cons: Whatever you do, don't wear a red polo shirt. You will be more popular than One Direction at Forever 21.

This week, Texas police found that a 14-year-old boy had taken up residence inside a Corsicana Wal-Mart. The boy had set up shelter in the aisle dedicated to baby supplies and toilet paper.

He apparently changed clothes every few hours to avoid being noticed by employees. According to CBS 11 in Dallas, the young man’s growing collection of trash led to employees discovering his makeshift dwelling. According to CBS he was wearing diapers in order to not be detected.

It’s thought that he was a Wal-Mart resident for at least four days. Police were called to the store and he was later released into the custody of relatives.

According to a recent CBS update, the boy has a history of running away to take up temporary residence in businesses and abandoned houses. He was staying with his aunt while his parents were out of town when he moved into Wal-Mart.

Living inside a store is something that is always joked about but few people seem to pull it off, like this young man did.

We weighed the pros and cons of living in various grocery and discount stores in the Houston area.

Check out the slideshow above to see which stores would be best and worst for turning into a makeshift home.
